VA electric fan install pulley question

I am away from my car right now. So I installed a Dorman electric fan. The question I have is since I removed the stock fan and clutch the pulley on the water pump doesn't line up correctly for the belt. I used some washers on this temporarily. What options do I have for fixes on this? I assume I could get a dual pulley for the alternator. Please let me know or point me to another thread. I will continue looking, but so far haven't been able to search it correctly.

I probably posted this to fast. I will remove one of the bolts tonight as it seems they might be the bolts that are threaded on both ends. Then I can replace with a regular bolt that is shorter that will fit it correctly since i am not using the clutch fan anymore.

You can take those studs off and use "the regular 10mm headed bolts" that mazda is so over-abundantly using to hold the car together!
